## Overview
Daguerreotype visual system, translated from the Claude Artisan catalog for use in digital products. Silvery monochrome tonal range with warm sepia-silver undertone; Soft vignette falloff darkening toward the edges
- **Category:** historical
- **Era:** 1839–1860s
- **Origin:** Earliest commercially viable photographic process, invented by Louis Daguerre; formal studio portraiture in silver-plated copper.
- **Reference:** Southworth & Hawes studio portraits; early 1840s American daguerreotype cases.
- **Structural base:** hero, superfície, conteúdo e grade responsiva
**Defining traits:**
- Silvery monochrome tonal range with warm sepia-silver undertone
- Soft vignette falloff darkening toward the edges
- Oval or gilt-edge framing motifs around portraits and cards
- Quiet, formal stillness — no grain, scratches, or VHS/CRT artifacts
## Colors
- **bg** — #d9d2c4
- **surface** — #eae5da
- **surface-2** — #c9c0ac
- **text** — #2b2621
- **text-muted** — #5c5347
- **primary** — #4a4238
- **accent** — #8a6d3a
- **silver** — #b8b2a0
- **sepia** — #6b5a3f
## Typography
- Display: 'Playfair Display', 'Cormorant', serif
- Body: 'Cormorant', 'EB Garamond', serif
- Mono: ui-monospace, monospace
## Layout
- hero, superfície, conteúdo e grade responsiva
- Use a responsive grid and preserve content hierarchy.
- Collapse columns below 768px without horizontal overflow.
## Elevation & Depth
- Silvery monochrome tonal range with warm sepia-silver undertone; Soft vignette falloff darkening toward the edges; Oval or gilt-edge framing motifs around portraits and cards; Quiet, formal stillness — no grain, scratches, or VHS/CRT artifacts; sombras e elevação; transparência e blur
## Shapes
- Radius scale: 4px, 10px, 40px.
## Components
- Buttons keep visible focus and predictable hover/pressed states.
- Cards use the surface and radius scale from the tokens.
- Forms expose persistent labels, textual errors, and keyboard focus.
## Do's and Don'ts
- Do: follow the tokens and the structural composition.
- Do: maintain WCAG AA contrast and `prefers-reduced-motion`.
- Avoid: using the style as decoration without functional hierarchy.

## Implementation Checklist
- Contraste WCAG AA; foco visível; navegação por teclado; estados hover/pressed; responsividade; prefers-reduced-motion; Tailwind v4 via @theme.
## Execution Rules
1. Strictly follow the defined visual style.
2. Use high-quality inline SVG icons (Heroicons or Lucide style) — NEVER use emojis as icons.
3. Add `cursor-pointer` and smooth `hover` states (transition-all) on all interactive elements.
4. Required Page Structure:
- Navbar (Logo + Links + CTA)
- Hero Section (Impactful Headline + Subtitle + 2 buttons + 3D/Abstract visual element via CSS)
- Features (3 cards with icons)
- Testimonials (3 cards)
- Pricing (3 tiers, highlight the middle one)
- Final CTA
- Full Footer with social links, privacy policy, terms of use, contact and SEO links.
5. All text content must be in English.
6. The visual must be CLEARLY distinct — do not create a "default Bootstrap" design. Force the use of the provided design system variables.
7. Use `<style>` tags in the head for custom classes (especially for complex backdrop-filter effects and animations) that Tailwind CDN doesn't cover.
8. Full Responsiveness: Layout must adapt perfectly to Mobile, Tablet and Desktop (vertical stack on mobile).
9. Include basic SEO, Viewport and Open Graph meta tags in `<head>`.
10. Footer must contain: Copyright 2026, Secondary navigation links and Social media icons.
11. Make the creative decisions needed to deliver the complete, functional result now.Related
